No corporate backers, new office space, and a new drive forward. We’ve been watching his show for years now, and I think these next steps make sense. As I said before, I do wonder if the perfect window has passed for starting this sort of a venture up – whether new news organizations like News & Guts caught the right moment, but that now it’s too late. I suppose it remains to be seen, and his past success with his shows and YouTube awards shows means he has a shot at this.

A lot of people have been re-subscribing to the news, but Holly and I have not added a news subscription yet. However, the DeFranco Elite backing – on Patreon – might be the place for us to invest a bit in the news. What do you think?

“Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It’s basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating.”
― Simon Pegg
